I want to have an AC outlet in the galley and one in the tear. This will be run off shore power if ever needed. I want to mount them back to back. Now... Can I just run one (1) cable and connect them together? I doubt both outlets will ever be used at the same time, and looking at the wiring in my house, I got two bedrooms and the bathroom on one 15 amp fuse. Just wondering how safe it would be in a tear. I want to keep it as simple as possible, but I don't want to fry while I'm still alive. Plenty of time for that after they bury me...........

On that note, the GFI putlet will have 2 sets of terminals. One marked line and the other marked load. The incoming should hook up to the line, and the output side is hooked to load.

This way both are protected by the same GFI yet all you need for the second outlet is the cheaper plain outlet. I have 1 GFI outlet and 2 regular outlets are slaved off of it. There is a big price difference between a regular outlet and a GFI outlets.

Mine is supposed to be but my battery tray is all busted up and doesn't want to slide anymore. After pulling the tray out, to reach the test/reset button, it is a royal pain to get back into it's home.

Madjack, can you explain how you wired yours a little more fully? I see that you have a fuse for thecabin as well as one for the galley... 110 right? then you have an on/off switch for the charger, can't read what the red switch is for, then you have a fuse panel for 12 volt, about 5 fuses. a red for + going to battery and a black for - going to battery.... Am I right so far? What do you have on those 5 circuits?

The breakers go to the 110V outlets, one for the cabin outlets and the other breaker goes to the galley outlets.

Below that is the on/off switch for the charger.

The Red switch below that one is the battery master switch. It disconnects the battery from the system.

The fuses to the Right are for each of the 12V circuits.

yep, the center switch is a double pole switch, so it controls the 110VAC to the charger and the 12VDC from the charger...the top two are push button breakers not fuses and the cuircuits got water pump, fantastic fan, 12VDC outlet, 12VDC outlet and the light circuit for both galley and cabin lights...those last could be split seperately...also have a couple of runs deadheaded for future use...the panel itself is made out of a piece of formica, painted black
